Kabri (Hebrew: כַּבְּרִי, also transliterated Cabri) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Western Galilee about 4 kilometres (2 mi) east of the Mediterranean seaside town of Nahariya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,120.[1]
The kibbutz was founded in 1949 by a group of members who, during the War of Independence, were forced to abandon their kibbutz, Beit HaArava, north of the Dead Sea and to look for a new place to settle.
Nowadays, Kibbutz Cabri has defined itself as a kibbutz in a process of renewal and has initiated a process of change and redefinition.
In 2006, a more inclusive community was established, comprising 300+ kibbutz members, together with some 100 second and third generation offspring who have chosen to build their homes in Cabri. The balance of the population of 730 adults is comprised of temporary residents and candidate members.
